This year my SIL who normally hosts had to go to her in-laws. smileys/frown.gif

What are you making?

I am thinking of making some chocolate bunnies with an old mold I found years ago at a flea mkt. Anyone ever use a metal chocolate mold?

 
This year our dil is dong Easter and it will be Tex Mex. Everyone is bringing something.

She chose Tex Mex for the ease, fun, and it can easily be vegetarian. It will be different for us but I know I will enjoy it. My contribution for the dinner is Guacamole and various chips, plus an array of fresh fruit for Sunday breakfast and a Pine Bark for dessert . Others are bringing a fresh fruit salad, layered bean dip, burrito bowls and fixings, margaritas and cerviche.

Oh, and she is also making apple and fresh lemon breads to go along with my fruit for Sunday late breakfast. I'm hoping the Farmers Market has some early berries by now, but if not, Driscoll's berries have been amazingly good all winter.

 
Blueberry French Toast Cobbler, Polish Raisin Bread (Babka), Honey

Ham, Sweet Potato Pancakes, Spinach Salad with Apples, Avocado and Bacon, Stir-fried Asparagus, New Orleans Chocolate Cake with buttercream icing and fresh coconut topping, Gluten-free Best Brownies, and family heirloom chocolate covered coconut cream eggs

 
We're having a big pizza party. We used to set up a waffle bar, and then I did braised ham, potatoes

asparagus etc. Since we just built a pizza oven we are trading the waffle bar for a pizza bar. I assumed I would still do the whole ham buffet until I was threatened with divorce. "What the !@?% did we build this thing for?" So as a compromise I am braising a ham tonight and on Sunday serving an abridged buffet of cold ham, potato salad, deviled eggs etc., all cold. This way I still get my ham bone and leftovers for the freezer and I get to stay married for another year.

 
I baked some Paska last night.

the bigger one over-rose a bit, making it look "lumpy". fits our family just fine! My Uncle is getting 2 of these mailed to him and the other small one is a gift for a special friend celebrating 20 years "clean". yay. I used the Mennonite Girls Can Cook recipe, but I used just 1 small clementine and only some lemon zest. Made the dough in the breadmachine. I don't remember my Mom's being so citrusy, but I don't have her recipe. this is delish anyway, and a reasonable amount of eggs and butter---some recipes have just so so many eggs that we don't need right now. the sprinkles are colored round sprinkles, not poppy seed. not the greatest photo!

Maria, you are missing a lot of things. You can set your FB privacy settings so

ONLY YOU can see it. No one else. Why not. I hate FB but it's used for too many things that I would miss out on. Just try it....you can take it down if you don't like it.

 
Well, I think I'd have to be FB friends with Joe to see it, not just have FB.

The problem is I can't set privacy settings so FB can't see me. They'll see my ip address and connect all my dots.

I work(ed) in sillycon valley tech...I purposely don't use a lot of this stuff because of privacy. I like to keep a low profile. Though it's difficult. I noticed Safeway knows what groceries I bought in LA...even though I didn't use a store club card/etc while there, but my sale items this week are clearly profiled by what I bought for the reception for mom. Meaning they tied their store card I use here to my debit card and are profiling that. smileys/frown.gif

 
No, everything on my FB page is public. It keeps me honest. You wouldn't be able to comment is all.

 
Humm, as a non-FB user I can only see your cover page, not content.

Do FB users have to log in, then they see your content?
